MockingKit was confused by the last words OakFire muttered to her, 'Fly pretty bird fly... I will catch you one day...' She kept repeating the words, over and over, in her head. She didn't even notice QuietStar call a Clan meeting, or call her name.
"DarkKit, MockingKit! Please take a seat before DeadStump!" QuietStar watched DarkKit eagerly bound forward and take a seat, obviously brimming with excitement. But MockingKit didn't show any signs she was focused or interested. So QuietStar called again, louder this time "MOCKINGKIT, COME AND TAKE A SEAT BEFORE DEADSTUMP!" That woke MockingKit from her deep thoughts and she quickly sat down next to DarkKit.
"DarkKit, MockingKit! Do you both promise to uphold the Ancestor Code, and fight for your Clan even if your life depended on it?!" "I do!" Both kits responded in unison. "Then by the power of CrystalClan, I give you your apprentice names! DarkKit, you will now be known as DarkPaw! MockingKit, you will now be known as MockingPaw!" QuietStar waited for the cheers from her Clan to die down, before she continued "DarkPaw, your mentor will be FoxFang! FoxFang I hope you pass on your knowledge to this fine, young cat!" DarkPaw scrambled over to the older warrior, and they twined tails, showing the strong bond of mentor and apprentice "I will, QuietStar!" FoxFang responded happily.
Now, it was MockingPaw's turn.
"MockingPaw! Your mentor will be GlisteningMoon! GlisteningMoon, like any she-cat in this Clan, your swift and delicate paws help everyone! Pads this skill to this young apprentice!" GlisteningMoon swiftly darted to MockingPaw. Both of the she-cats twined tails gracefully and dipped their heads to each other. "I promise I will, QuietStar" GlisteningMoon purred to QuietStar.
MockingPaw and DarkPaw were, finally, apprentices.
